The hateful crime committed to a muslim family in London ON yesterday are appalling. As canadians, we must all fight to end islamophobia and make sure our country is a fair and safe space for all people. If you hear islamophobic comments from anyone you know, call them out/calll them in. Every conversation matters. We must fight to end hatred together.

It’s plastic free July and it’s hugely important to reduce our plastic consumption (especially single use plastic). It might seem unimportant right now, but we can’t worry about plastics without worrying about systemic racism, especially when North Americans and Europeens send most of their plastics to be dumped in underdevelopped countries where people living near massive landfills suffer from the consequences of dealing with our trash. A fight against plastics is a fight for our environment AND for the people. Investigate in your own country where landfills are located and which communities live around them. Our fight for equity is not just about discussing and calling out, it’s about examining our actions and changing our behaviours that hurts others for our own convenience.

Oppression is at the heart of our capitalist society which means everything we consume and the way we live in linked to injustice and we must unpack it all one by one. Chocolate, one of the most unanimously loved foods in the world, is one of the most unethical goods we consume today. The cacao industry is linked to human trafficking, child labor and slavery. Because fair trade is not always a better choice, buy chocolate from brands who get their cacao from ethical sources only. Brands like and many others. There’s NO enjoyment in eating treats we can only afford when others suffer to produce them. Art by for Ungarbage Mag 💜
